Inspiring Derby 2009

Showcasing what's best about our city
Monday 22 June - Sunday 28 June 2009.

Derby City Partnership brings you Inspiring Derby 2009; a week of events for everyone, to showcase what's best about our city.
We want you to help us to demonstrate how Derby is inspiring and how your partnership work can inspire everyone who lives and works here.
This is a great opportunity to showcase your activities, partnership projects and initiatives to the public and organisations locally and regionally by putting on events and tours between Monday 22 and Sunday 28 June.
Derby City Partnership Week is well established and well respected in the city and last year all our tours sold out, as did most of our events.
Yet, with your help we can do better and you can be part of making Inspiring Derby 2009 the best attended and the most inspirational week yet!
Click here for the booking form and guidelines for taking part.
Deadline for returning booking forms is Monday 16 March.
